Assembly Bill 670 provides that "[i]t is the intent of the Legislature ... to encourage the construction of affordable accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units that are owner-occupied and that are used for rentals of terms longer than 30 days.”
Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are defined in detail by California's Government Code. They essentially consist of attached or detached structures on the same lot which provide complete independent living facilities, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation. Junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs), in turn, are ADUs which are no more than 500 square feet and which are contained within and may share certain facilities with the primary residence.
